Abstract

We study classes of atomic models AtT of a countable, complete first-order theory T. We prove that if AtT is not pcl -small, i.e., there is an atomic model N that realizes uncountably many types over pcl N(a¯) for some finite a¯ from N, then there are 2ℵ1 non-isomorphic atomic models of T, each of size ℵ1.
